Trainer seeks more good times

Leeton trainer Bill Trembath has bittersweet memories of his two wins in his hometown feature, the Breeders Plate.

He won the first two-year-old feature of the year with Terry Terrific in 1990 but it is the success of Paddy O'Sullivan at his final race start four years ago that still stings.

"He could have been anything," Trembath said. "He won his heat and the final and then went amiss. We got him back to the trials but he was never the same and he didn't race again."

Every year, Trembath begins the search for a Paddy O'Sullivan and will have the favourite for Tuesday's final in Enjoythegoodtimes, which won his heat and drew perfectly in gate two.

"We always try to have a couple ready to go for this race seeing as it is our hometown race," Trembath said. "Things have worked out well with him. He won his heat and to get the good draw is a big help."

The other heat winner, the unbeaten Business In Motion, came up with a back-row draw in barrier nine but Trembath still believes he is the one to beat. He drove him in his debut at Bendigo before the Colin Thomas-owned, trained and bred son of Courage Under Fire returned home for a Breeders Plate heat.

"I drove Business In Motion at Bendigo and he is a ready-made racehorse," Trembath said. "My bloke and him have worked together and there is not much between them. I'm happy to be on my bloke from the draw though."

Shayne Cramp became the 13th trainer to have six winners on a program in Australia at Mildura on Wednesday night.
